The Rules

[Quoll]

Excellent point.

As some of you know, I use a wheelchair. I consider my chair to be an extension of my personal space, and it makes me very uncomfortable when someone I don't know well leans against the chair or uses it for a footrest. What's worse is when it's used for a footrest and the foot is tapping or wiggling.

That's just fucking rude as well as extremely annoying.

If I say "Thank You" for something, could you please say "Your Welcome" instead of "no problem". "No problem" irritates the hell out of me.

A friend of mine always says, "That's okay" in response to a thank-you. I've never quite understood that.

Yep. My brother-in-law used to come up behind me and grab both handles and shake the chair really hard. I've never liked him very well.

Try some aversion therapy, run into his shins everytime he does it.

You didn't mind when I jumped on and did wheelies down the hill did you?

No, because that was awesome and fun, and MrB was there in case of emergency.

I'll give you a ride any time, baby.

Something that always drives me nuts: just because you can do some particular thing well, doesn't mean you are lord and master of the world. Maybe its just the software industry (I'm a software engineer), but there are plenty of folks I know who strut around looking down their noses at everyone else because they can get a computer to do something neat. I wish they could be a little more humble and appreciative of what those around them are doing with their lives.

I'd caution you to take care when posting a few places here at Lit. There are many lords and masters, if only in their own mind.

Welcome to Lit Silly. I can do a really cool trick with my computer -- I know how to turn it on. (I don't know where the off switch is though. ; ) )

Instead of a bicycle built for two we can get a tandem wheelchair! Yeehaw!

When people take their children out in public, like to a restaurant, I would like to be able to have a private conversation rather than having to shout to my dinner date, or have to worry about Jr. crawling around under MY table. And when I make a snide remark about it loud enough for the parents to hear, I certainly don't want to get THAT look.

And pull up your goddamned pants! Your brand/color of underpants is the last thing I want to know.

Thanks, I feel better now.

 

[Nightbird]

I can soooooo relate to this one!

I don't hear very well and there was a loud group behind me I couldn't hear a darn thing.

The kids who wear their pants around their knees and show off their underwear need to understand how that little fashion trend got started. It got started inside prisions and what it means is that the Inmate who is wearing his pants like that is another Inmates *Bitch* In other words Anal Lover. So in essence the kids who wear their pants like that are announcing to the world that they are gay and they have Anal sex with another male.

Nightbird, you're my hero.

i have a new rule... if you always have some sort of drama in your life, don't bother me with it. after a while you have to start thinking that maybe it's more YOU and less, "the world's out to get me."

 

[Munachi]

well... job-related... i'd like for people to realize there is a garbage can in their hostel room, and use it...

Don't you just love those people? Every day is a life-threatening crisis. Makes me want to shake them, yelling "Ever heard of KARMA?" We don't live in a vacuum where life dumps on us; there is a clear path of cause and effect.

 

[EJFan]

i have another rule... this one's kinda twofold...

if you can't hear for shit, don't yell "what?!?!" to the person talking to you. say, "what" in a friendly tone. secondly, if someone can't hear you, and you repeat yourself, don't do so at the same volume level... speak more loudly dipshit.

I'm sorry, what was that? I didn't hear you.


(You had to know some smart ass would do that. Might as well be me. )

 

[Eilan]

My rule(s):

--It's always about me.

--Get used to it.

and what smarter ass is there?

 

[bobsgirl]

Thank you for noticing.

And along those same lines:

1. Mom is always right.

2. If Mom is wrong, refer to rulel #1.

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
